The current stopped around noon by local time and caused major problems, the BBC broadcast.
Some 10 million people live in Jakarta and 20 million others in surrounding cities. The neighboring trains, the homes of tens of millions of people, remained without electricity.
In some areas of Jakarta, traffic lights have not worked, which has greatly exacerbated the situation in a city known for major traffic jams.
Power cuts have also caused problems in the functioning of mobile phones and ATMs.
Jakarta International Airport functions normally, while hospitals use generators.
Power cuts occurred due to a gas turbine problem at the main thermal power plant and another facility on Java island
